Protect Children and the Future We All Share

When you give to Save the Children, 86% of every dollar goes straight to our mission — changing the lives of millions of children right here in the U.S. and around the world.

  • $50 – can provide 25 face masks to protect health workers on the front lines of COVID-19
  • $150 – can keep 100 children from going hungry during a pandemic
  • $300 – can buy 60 hygiene kits so families in crisis can stay clean and safe

Thanks to your support, we’re transforming the way health care is delivered in the world’s hardest-to-reach places.
